November 21, 2023

  It’s hard to have a conversation with a friend or colleague where the issue of sleep doesn’t come up.  In most cases, you’ll hear people say there’s is not restful and they are trying a range of things, from a new mattress to meditation or white noise to address it.  Some may describe a medical condition, like sleep apnea, requiring a mask and other paraphenalia to accomplish a good night’s rest.  Dr. Abhinav Singh’s new book, “Sleep to Heal: 7 Simple Steps to Better Sleep” is a great guide to determining what routines and practices you can undertake to get a better night’s sleep.  He will also convince you, if you’re not already, that it is key to living a better, long life.  Along with exercise and nutrition it makes up the third pillar of health and is not to be taken lightly.  In fact, he might suggest you get yourself to a sleep clinic, overseen by a medical doctor like him, if your case is severe and protracted and not just occasional restless sleep.  It’s a fascinating topic and we delve into a range of nuances.  His lively presentation will assure you stay awake for the entire conversation.
